The Workplace Wellness Conference and Awards are an annual gathering of providers, members, speakers, and key note guests promoting a healthier and happier workforce in West Virginia! Throughout a day of presentations and networking the conference aims to bring barriers to health to the forefront of discussion, while brainstorming solutions to decrease and overcome these barriers.
One of the major focuses of our conference is bringing like minds together to find solutions to issues and barriers that workers in our state experience in the workplace. Past speakers have covered topics from mindfulness and mental health, to building strategic plans to create health and wellness at your workplace.
Each year we invite speakers ,partners, and sponsors who help change the narrative in the Mountain State. Through the inclusion of voices from differing backgrounds at the conference, we can recognize barriers to access, equitability, and sustainability to workplace wellness programming no matter the organization size or sector.
The Active Southern West Virginia Workplace Wellness Award recognizes and celebrates healthy workplaces that promote equitable and sustainable workplace wellness initiatives by implementing Policy, Systems, and Environmental benchmarks.
This Award Program is proudly brought to you by Active Southern West Virginia in partnership with the West Virginia Division of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease (HPCD).
We are excited to highlight this years awardees, as well as those from years past. In order to receive a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award, workplaces must meet a set number of Policy, Systems, and Environmental benchmarks in each level. You can view the different qualification requirements for each award level on this scoring rubric.
